Validation of Saliva Samples with the EasyScreen™ 3base™ SARS-CoV-2 Detection Kit (RP012)

The need for accurate SARS-CoV-2 testing remains a priority. While nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs and PCR tests are considered the most sensitive and accurate, there is a need for simpler sample collection. Saliva has been investigated as an alternate sample type and validated in this study as a sampling method for SARS-CoV-2 detection. View our poster…
